Week nine already? In some ways the weeks seem to be flying by, but then when I think about the last time things felt normal, it feels like so long ago. Things started to change slightly last week, the lockdown has eased a little. This is really good, but also very complicated and confusing. At…

Coronavirus Diary – Page 6 (Feeling loved and supported)
It’s times like this when we need our friends the most. We need somebody to complain to, we need somebody to try and escape sometimes rubbish reality with, we need somebody to cuddle us and tell us that everything’s going to be OK. The problem is, we can’t have that cuddle, we can actually get…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 5 (Staying mentally well)
As you may have read on some of my previous posts, I have been really struggling mentally with the lockdown. I know that this isn’t easy for anyone, but when you have difficulties with your mental health, or even if you have in the past, then this is an extremely overwhelming time. I would just…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 3 (Life on pause)
Feeling a bit down today. I want normal life back. Silly thing to say really, we all do, especially the people who have been affected by this awful disease. We all wish life would just go back to normal. Like we can just wake up and it will all be a bad dream. I’m feeling…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 2 (One week into lock down)

Coronavirus Diary – Page 1 (Introducing COVID-19)

What to do now?…
When my sight deteriorated at the age of twenty three I really didn’t know what to do with myself anymore. I was a Nursery Nurse and I had been since leaving school. That was all I had ever known work wise. I had been wanting a change for a while, so in a way this…
Just One of Those Days
It seems that I am still getting those feelings occasionally that I often felt with my PTSD. The feelings of extreme stress and being overwhelmed by everything. Well, not really everything, it’s just the enormity of it makes it feel like everything. That feeling that as hard as I try I just can’t shake it…
Life After Drinking
Last year I wrote a post about how badly alcohol can damage the liver. This post is a bit of a follow up of that. So if you would like to catch up on the old post, please click on the button below. Then don’t forget to come back and read this. 🙂 Are you…
Birthdays and Besties
Recently I wrote a post about my birthday and how it didn’t exactly go to plan. It was nobody’s fault at all, it was just one of those days where things kept happening. Luckily though I had another birthday do to fall back on. I went out for a meal with my friends. We went…
